As seasoned travelers who have visited all 7 continents and are frequent AirBnbers, you absolutely must stay at the Canal House in Bangkok. We traveled for 2 weeks in Thailand, experiencing many gorgeous places and friendly service but hands down the Canal House was far and away our favorite spot. The location is excellent as the house is located directly on Mon Canal but more importantly, within an authentic Bangkok neighborhood. Ohm kindly met us and gave us a tour of his neighborhood, pointing out some excellent spots to eat and what to order as well as taking us to his local temple. Speaking of temples, the Canal House is literally in the backyard of the local temple, but is also a short walk away from the iconic Wat Arun and just a ferry crossing from Wat Pho, Wat Phra Kaew & The Grand Palace.
The house itself is a keeper. It's a traditional Thai house with some antique and vintage Western decor touches. The bedrooms each have their own AC, the bathroom has a a full sized tub and of course you won't want to miss the breezy and comfortable balcony/porch perched directly on the canal. It is shaded with comfortable chaise lounges, perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood. As a family of four, we spent two nights here but would have loved to have spent more, and we definitely plan on booking the Canal House on return visits for longer periods.
Ohm - thank you again for your above and beyond hospitality and kindness. We are so very grateful!
